Benefits of technology

This patent is related to an information processing device that includes a touchscreen and a switching device mounted on top of the touchscreen. The device can detect whether the switching device is mounted on the touchscreen and will switch between two different display modes accordingly. The switching device can output images formatted based on the layout of its switches, such as an identifier, and the orientation of the switching device. The device can also detect the placement error of the switching device on the touchscreen and will output corrected images to indicate the proper placement. The technical effects of this patent include improved user interaction with the device and more intuitive control over the display mode.

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, this application considers the limitations of the conventional art described above.

Abstract

An information processing device includes a touchscreen that includes a first surface that outputs images and detects an input to the first surface, a sensor that detects whether a switching device is mounted an the touchscreen, and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to control a display state of the touchscreen based on a detection result of the sensor so that the touchscreen outputs in a first display mode when the switching device is not mounted on the touchscreen, and the touchscreen outputs in a second display mode when the switching device is mounted on the touchscreen.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is based on and chums the benefit of priority to Japanese Application No. 2015-197365, filed in Japan on Oct. 5, 2015, and to Japanese Application No. 2016-1060169, filed in Japan on May 27, 2016, the disclosure of each of which is hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to an information processing device, and more specifically to an information processing device, switching device and method for controlling a display output for a touchscreen when a switching device is mounted upon the touchscreen.DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ART[0003]In recent years, information processing devices have become important equipment for the scanning of documents and the physical output of digital information. Such devices may include multi-function peripheral (MFP) devices that function as a printer, a facsimile, and a copier by providing an imaging function, an image fo...
